PETER KRAUTH EXCLUSIVE: Silver Dramatically Underpriced vs. Gold

Tariffs and rumors of tariffs are driving the markets right now. But is there something bigger going on? Are tariffs just one plotline within a bigger story?&nbsp; In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey puts the current market chaos into context, zooming in to focus on what he believes is a much bigger narrative.&nbsp; He argues that the stock market is a big fat bubble just waiting for a pin.

David Morgan: Swap Gold for Silver at Today’s Extreme 90:1 Ratio

10 Oz Silver Bars

Traders determine the spot price of gold on futures exchanges. Metals contracts change hands in London and Shanghai when U.S. markets are closed. But the largest and most influential market for metals prices is the U.S. COMEX exchange. The quote for immediate settlement at any given time is effectively the spot price.

Determine Gold Price

What is the Gold Spot Price and How is it Determined?

Excessive money printing tends to drive gold prices up, as there are more currency units chasing basically the same number of gold ounces. On the other hand, the price of gold does not tend to perform as well as compared to other assets when governments are behaving responsibly and living within their means. Geopolitical conflict, mine supply, and demand for gold in jewelry also have a bearing on gold prices.

Will Gold Prices Go Up

Why Does the Gold Price Fluctuate?

A hundred years ago, gold sold for just $20 per ounce. In recent years gold has traded between $1,200 and $1,900 per ounce. That’s a huge move up in nominal terms over the past century. Yet in real terms gold prices today aren’t much different from what they were when they were last quoted at $20 an ounce.

Price of Gold to Go Up

What Causes the Price of Gold to Go Up?

Gold prices hit an all-time high of $1,900/oz. in August 2011. However, that nominal high wasn't actually a new high in real terms. The January 1980 peak of $850/oz still hasn't been surpassed when adjusted for inflation.

Highest Price of Gold

What Was the Highest Price of Gold Per Ounce Ever?

The Dow:gold ratio measures how highly valued the stock market is compared to gold. The Dow:gold ratio tends to move lower during both deflationary depressions (as in the 1930s) and inflationary panics (as in the late 1970s). At the bottom of the Great Depression, Dow:gold reached a 1:1 ratio. That same 1:1 ratio was briefly reached again in January 1980 when both gold prices and the Dow Jones Industrials sported an 850 handle.

Dow to Gold Ratio

What Is The Dow To Gold Ratio?

Platinum is a dense, malleable metal represented by the symbol Pt and atomic number 78. This metal is also ductile, corrosion resistant, and highly unreactive with a very high melting point. The name comes from the Spanish term “platina,” which translates into little silver. According to historians, South Americans discovered this rare, valuable metal before the Europeans arrived. The largest producers of platinum are South Africa and Russia. A small amount of this gray-white metal is produced every year because it is not commonly found in the Earth's crust.

What is platinum

What is Platinum

The primary driver of platinum demand is the automotive industry. Platinum, along with its sister metal palladium, is used in catalytic converters.

Platinum Price

What Influences the Price of Platinum?

In recent years, rogue traders at large global financial institutions including Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan Chase, have been caught manipulating gold and silver markets. The platinum market doesn’t attract as much attention, but it is by no means free from the forces of price manipulation.

Price Manipulation

Are Platinum Prices Manipulated?

Not always. While all precious metals over time tend to reflect the steady depreciation of the currency in which they are denominated, the platinum group metals have their own unique cycles and price drivers. That makes them useful portfolio diversifiers.

Platinum VS Gold

Do Platinum Prices Move with Silver and Gold Prices?

You can buy platinum coins, rounds, or bars from reputable precious metals dealers such as Money Metals Exchange. As platinum sales tend to be a small fraction of gold and silver sales for most dealers, they may have sparse inventories of platinum products available.

Physical Platinum

Where Can I Buy Physical Platinum?

Palladium is an extremely rare, silver-white precious metal. It is 30 times more scarce than gold, and it is 15 times more rare than platinum. Palladium was discovered in 1803, but mineable ore deposits are not easy to come by. Much of the current production is confined to Canada, Russia and South Africa. The latter has become a difficult jurisdiction for miners to operate in. Labor unrest and electrical outages are increasingly common there.

Palladium

What is Palladium?

The term Spot price for palladium (and other precious metals) refers to the current price of the metal as it is traded via contracts in the futures markets. Technically speaking the spot price is the price of the most recent trade, for a contract with the nearest available delivery date.

Palladium Spot Price

What is the Palladium Spot Price?

In 2019, palladium surged to a record high – surpassing the price of gold. Later in the year, gold embarked on a strong rally to reclaim the title of the priciest precious metal. Historically, gold tends to be more expensive palladium.

Palladium VS Gold

Is Palladium More Expensive Than Gold?

Palladium is a good metal to hold in your investment portfolio for diversification. It shows little correlation with stocks, bonds, and other financial assets. Palladium often zigs while other asset classes – and even other precious metals – zag.

Palladium Investment

Is Palladium a Good Investment?

Rising demand from automakers has combined with constricting supplies to boost palladium prices. Since 2016, prices for the specialty metal have more than tripled as supply deficits have widened.

Palladium Expensive

Why Is Palladium so Expensive?

Gold and silver are the ultimate forms of money.  When they are rising rapidly in value versus fiat currencies and paper assets, governments, central banks, and investment banks on Wall Street get nervous.  A sharp rise in precious metals prices suggests not all is well in the financial world.

Gold & Silver Prices

Why Do Gold And Silver Prices Fluctuate?

Prices Suppressed

Why Are Gold And Silver Prices Being Suppressed?

During the Great Depression, gold and silver gained tremendous purchasing power versus stocks, real estate, and other assets in the economy that were going down.

The Dow:gold ratio measures how highly valued the stock market is compared to gold. The Dow:gold ratio tends to move lower during both deflationary depressions (as in the 1930s) and inflationary panics (as in the late 1970s). At the bottom of the Great Depression, Dow:gold reached a 1:1 ratio. That same 1:1 ratio was briefly reached again in January 1980 when both gold prices and the Dow Jones Industrials sported an 850 handle.

Great Depression

What Happened To Gold And Silver Prices During The Great Depression?

Gold prices hit an all-time high of $1,900/oz. in August 2011.  Earlier that year, silver ran up to just shy of $50/oz.  The precious metals surged as a consequence of Federal Reserve Quantitative Easing programs, rising inflation fears, and a spike in investment demand for physical bullion.

2011 Prices

What Happened In 2011 To Increase Gold And Silver Prices?

After peaking in January 1980, gold and silver prices moved sharply lower over the following two years before basing out in the mid 1980s.  By 1986, gold had found a floor around $300/oz.

Cryptocurrency is a secure form of digital currency used to exchange digital goods using blockchain technology. It can be bought and sold, and you can invest in different types. Cryptocurrency prices change daily, so it's essential to understand when to invest, when to sell, and what your crypto is currently worth.

What is Cryptocurrency?

Trade prices change based on several market factors, which means that trade prices never stay the same for long. If you look at the trade market for each form of crypto, you'll find that the value of each type of coin is affected by a few specific factors.

Buy crypto

What Affects Cryptocurrency Prices?

The primary factors that determine trade prices are adoption and speculation. These factors can mean different things depending on the type of crypto you're trading.

Speculation is more straightforward than adoption. It just means people are trading their coins. The volume of available coins creates spikes and dips in the market. When investors see an opportunity to buy or sell to their advantage, they jump at the chance, and that helps determine the price of that cryptocurrency.

Crypto Prices

How are Cryptocurrency Prices Determined?

If you follow the trade market, you know that sometimes trade prices fall fast. While these sudden and dramatic price drops may seem random, they're not. They follow a fairly consistent pattern from year to year.
